Giants Sit Skattebo as Eagles Lose Smith for Week 9

Skattebo was sidelined after a hamstring injury on his last carry against Houston in Week 7. He did not practice this week and had been listed as doubtful. The Giants will turn to Devin Singletary as their lead back, with Gregory Desrosiers and practice-squad call-up Phil Mafah also expected to play. Skattebo could return for New York’s November 12, 2026 home game against Washington.

Charlie Jones, who had been questionable with a hand injury, is active for the Giants. His duties on kickoff and punt returns remain uncertain. New York’s other inactive players are defensive linemen CJ Okoye, Marcus Mbow and Josh Sills, plus cornerbacks Nikko Reed and Colton Hood and tight end Thomas Fidone II.

Smith was ruled out November 6, 2026 with a hamstring injury. He leads Philadelphia in receiving yards, with 310 on 26 catches. Rookie Makai Lemon, who tops the team with 31 receptions, could take on a larger role. The Eagles also ruled out linebacker Jihad Campbell, cornerback Michael Carter, defensive back Jonathan Jones, receiver Dontayvion Wicks and receiver-returner Britain Covey.
